Processing and Managing Cultural Heritage 3D data
Paolo Cignoni is a Senior Researcher at the Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell’Informazione of Italian National Research Council (ISTI-CNR). His main research subjects involve 3D scanning technologies and their interaction with cultural heritage disciplines, and efficient rendering of large datasets. He published over 90 papers in international journals and international conferences. Paolo Cignoni is a founding member of the Visual Computing Lab (VCL), the computer graphics and computational geometry research lab of the Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell’Informazione “A. Faedo” (ISTI ) of Pisa, Italy. ISTI is an institute of the Italian National Research Council (CNR ). The institute is committed to produce scientific excellence and to play an active role in technology transfer.
Interactive 3D Visualization – Technologies and Applications
Interactive 3D technologies enable creation of powerful visualization tools in various application domains. Both photorealistic and non- photorealistic visualization of objects and places is possible in virtual and mixed reality environments. Data-rich 3D interfaces can visualize vast amounts of information in form of shapes, colors, textures, positions, sizes, orientations and behavior of objects. The spatial metaphor for representing data is close to the manner in which humans perceive the surrounding world making it easier to examine complex relationships and trends in the visualized datasets in a holistic way. 3D environments may permit users to navigate and manipulate objects to improve perception and understanding of the presented information and to obtain additional information in an iterative process.
However, visualization in 3D brings also some problems such as intrinsic complexity of the environments, occlusions, difficult navigation and complicated presentation and acquisition of textual and numerical data.
The panelists representing different research areas in both industry and academia will try to answer the following questions:
When 3D environments should / should not be used for visualization?
- When 3D environments should / should not be used for visualization?
- What are the main application domains for 3D visualization?
- What standards are available / best for 3D visualization?
- What levels of realism, immersion and interactivity are needed in different application domains?
- What are the future research directions in the domain of 3D visualization?
Panelists:
- Don Brutzman (NPS)
- Chrisophe Mouton (EDF)
- Paul Morgan (Fujimed)
- Nicholas Polys (Virgina Tech)
- Alban Schmutz (Oxalya)
- Philipp Slusallek (DFKI)
Panel chair: Krzysztof Walczak (PUE)
